Software Deployment

Hi,

What error are you recieving while exectuing the vb script through custom action.
what its sequence?.

keep it just before Install Finalize in deferred mode or else in immediate after install Finalize.

Wrapping the command in VBScript (or any other mechanism) won't make a blind bit of difference. Since the Office set-up stub is essentially a front-end to MSIExec, it follows that an MSI will be executed by it. As you know, you cannot execute more than MSI at a time. This is most likely why your CA is failing. As ever, a verbose log will provide you with information to make that determination.

Reading between the lines, I suspect what you're trying to do is to uninstall a stand-alone install of Outlook 2010 so that you can do an install of the complete Office 2010 suite. If that's the case, I would suggest using your deployment system to execute the Outlook uninstall and make the Office package check that Outlook is not present before continuing.

Hi Shweta,

I need vbscrip to execute this command.

There must be 100 billion scripts which execute command line tools. Why not simply download one and edit it to suit your requirements?

Hi,

u can try using the below Vbscript code,

Set goFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set goWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Execute ="Setup.exe" & "/config" & " " & "{[path of config file}\config.xml" & " " & "/uninstall" & " " & chr(34) & "Outlook" & chr(34)

UnOutlook =Execute

goWshShell.EXEC UnOutlook

Hi,

To uninstall Microsoft Outlook 2010, go to control panel and click on ‘Add/Remove Programs.’ Select Microsoft Outlook 2010 and then click on remove from the list. This should permanently remove Microsoft Outlook 2010 from your computer.
